Embracing the fast-paced journey of life

-




Life is an incredible rollercoaster ride that seems to move at an alarming speed. It's astonishing how quickly time flies, and before we know it, we find ourselves in a completely different phase of life. Reflecting on the past year, I've come to realize just how swiftly life can pass by, prompting me to appreciate and relish every moment along the way. It's crucial to savor each stage, as life doesn't wait for us to catch up. Let's dive into this whirlwind of existence and embrace the momentum it brings.


The Boring Phase:

The past years may have been seemingly uneventful for some, perhaps due to circumstances that limited our usual activities. However, it's important to remember that sometimes, the most boring phases of life serve a greater purpose. Whether it was a time of self-reflection, personal growth, or building a solid foundation for the future, these moments of stillness can be instrumental in shaping our journey. The key is to find value even in the seemingly mundane.


The Speed of Life:

Time seems to have a way of slipping through our fingers like grains of sand. One moment, we're celebrating our 20s, and the next, we're waking up in our 40s. It's a stark reminder of how important it is to appreciate the present and make the most of every age and stage. Life is a collection of experiences, and if we're not careful, we might find ourselves longing for the past or regretting missed opportunities. By embracing the speed of life, we can extract the most profound meaning from each passing moment.


Avoiding the Age-Act Mismatch:

Age is merely a number, but it's essential to match our actions and mindset with the appropriate phase of life. While it's tempting to hold onto the carefree attitude of our 20s, it's equally important to evolve and mature as the years go by. Entering our 40s while acting like we're in our 20s may lead to regret and missed growth opportunities. Instead, let's relish the wisdom that comes with age and adapt to the ever-changing landscape of life.


The Excitement of New Phases:

Life is a constant journey of discovery, and every new phase brings its own set of joys and challenges. Approaching each stage with enthusiasm and curiosity allows us to fully experience the richness of life. While the 30s may have been a period of learning and self-discovery, the 40s and 50s hold their own promises and possibilities. Embracing the excitement of these upcoming years will undoubtedly enrich our lives and open new doors.


Chop Life, Make Life No Chop You:

Life is a precious gift, and it's essential to make the most of every moment. The Nigerian phrase "Chop life make life no chop you" captures the essence of embracing life wholeheartedly. By seizing opportunities, nurturing relationships, pursuing passions, and savoring every experience, we can ensure that life doesn't pass us by unnoticed. Let's live boldly, love fiercely, and create memories that will last a lifetime.


As we reflect on the rapid pace of life, it becomes evident that time waits for no one. The key is to appreciate every moment, whether it's filled with excitement or seemingly mundane. Let's cherish each phase, avoiding the trap of mismatched ages, and approach new chapters with enthusiasm. By embracing the speed of life, we can truly make the most of our journey, ensuring that it's filled with fulfillment, joy, and a sense of purpose. So, let's take a deep breath, buckle up, and enjoy the ride. After all, life is a beautiful whirlwind that deserves

Why I Stopped Paid Employment

Claudia  I stopped paid employment because you can hardly satisfy a Nigerian employer if you're not suffering on the job. Most organisations here have toxic work culture. People carry their seniority mentality from secondary school into the workplace. I used to overwork (that's literally how we work here). Do all that and more.  While working for Nigerian firms, I thought hardwork was good work till I started working with a Ghanaian firm where you get upto 2weeks to deliver one article yet they pay on time. I shock! A Nigerian company will expect you to deliver 5 to 10 contents (articles) in a week.  How?....& for what? Worst still, if you have a terrible superior your work may never pass. It's more like a "dog eat dog" situation where correction is not done with "your growth" in mind. You'll be feeling drained and looking overused and abused all the time. That's why their HR be like "can you work under pressure?" As if it's a g...

  Marriage is often romanticized as a lifelong journey of love, connection, and shared dreams. However, as time goes on, couples might find themselves grappling with an unexpected shift in their relationship dynamics. It's the point where familiarity turns into monotony, intimacy morphs into mere coexistence, and the question arises: at what point does your spouse become your flatmate? This crucial juncture, if left unaddressed, can become a dangerous pitfall for the relationship. Let me share some takes on the signs that signal this transition and insights into how couples can rekindle their connection before it's too late. Personally, once I lose connection it’s as if I am mentally done but is there a way to make adjustments and realign? Of course. Though it is often said that the cordiality of a relationship is usually held down by one person but we all know it takes two to make it work. Where one or both parties are not willing, the union cannot stand. A situation where on...

  Life, with all its twists and turns, often feels like a rollercoaster ride. Just when we think we have it all figured out, it throws us a curveball or takes us on an unexpected loop.  From thrilling highs to challenging lows, navigating life's ups and downs is a journey filled with valuable lessons and opportunities for growth. Life has a way of surprising us when we least expect it. Whether it's a sudden job loss, a health scare, or a broken relationship, curveballs can leave us feeling confused and uncertain about the future.  However, it is during these moments of adversity that we might discover our inner strength and resilience. Instead of resisting change, embracing the curveballs allows us to adapt and evolve. It teaches us to let go of control and embrace the uncertainty of life. While it may be uncomfortable at first, facing challenges head-on ultimately leads to personal growth and self-discovery. Just as life has its curveballs, it also has its floating times...
